Biden calls for violent protesters to be ‘found, arrested and tried’
[NYPOST] Democratic presidential candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
on Tuesday called for the arrest of violent mostly peaceful protesters while taking questions for the first time in 28 days.

The former vice president struck a discordant tone with fellow liberals who insist protests against the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police are peaceful, and that authorities are to blame for any violence in Portland and other cities.

"I think we do need to hold those who violate the law accountable," Biden said. "We should never let what’s done in a march for equal rights overcome what the reason for the march is. And that’s what these folks are doing. And they should be arrested — found, arrested and tried."

Biden’s call for the prosecution of violent mostly peaceful protesters may further alienate leftist politicians uneasy with Biden’s decades of centrist policies.

This week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said she would not endorse Biden and a co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
’ presidential campaign, former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, likened voting for Biden to eating a "bowl of s—t."

The event was the first time Biden took questions since a June 30 briefing. President Trump by contrast often takes news hound questions multiple times a day including at his resumed daily coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
briefings. He’s taken questions from news hounds at least 15 times since June 30.

#3 Heh. Looks like at least some of Biden's puppeteers have figured out that being pro-riot isn't playing well with the public. So now he'll pretend to be anti-riot. Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't.

These radical Dems are hard-pressed for a candidate. Hate to think who they might support.

#7 Is it time for the Dems to dust off the "Draft Hillary" notion again?
